If you have multiple fruits and a few flavored yogurts, put everything into little bowls and set up your very own sundae bar — without all the sugar. For a dairy-free version, use a dairy-free alternative like coconut milk kefir. Or for a completely sugar-free dessert, keep your yogurt plain. With this array of healthy ingredients, you can easily serve it for breakfast as well.”
